Emphysema is characterized by a shortness of breath that mainly occurs
upon exertion. This difficulty is caused by loss of elasticity and dilatation of the
lung tissue. The patient cannot exhale with out great effort. Stale air
remains trapped in the lungs, preventing the needed exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
The most common symptoms of emphysema are breathlessness followed by coughing, no
matter how slight the exertion. emphysema patients are usually elderly, but the condition
may begin during youth or middle age depending on previous respiratory problems.
Some people suffer from this disease due to deficiency in serum protein;
however, the majority of cases are related to smoking. If you have emphysema and
smoke, you must quit. Smoking increases the chances of developing this progressive
and eventually fatal disease.

There is no known cure for emphysema, which is classified along with
asthma as a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

An oxygen carrier and potent antioxidant. A deficiency
can lead to destruction of the cell membrane.

Recommendations

Upon arising, take one teaspoonful of pure, cold-pressed olive oil.

waste in the gallbladder and large intestine.

The diet should consist of 50percent raw foods. Include onion and
garlic daily. Avoid salt. Avoid foods that cause excess mucus to be formed in
the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, sinuses, and nasal cavity. Foods that lead to the
formation of mucus are meats, eggs, dairy products, processed foods, tobacco, junk foods,
and white flour products.

Consume foods that require less chewing. Those with chronic lung
disease have difficulty breathing while chewing. Avoid gas-forming foods such as
lentils (beans) and cabbage. these foods cause abdominal distention and interfere
with breathing. Do not eat a typical American breakfast. Instead sip hot,
clear liquid (Such as herb teas) to help clear the mucus. ABC colon cleanser is
helpful after consuming the liquids. Mix ABC with a glass of juice and drink
quickly. This will help rid the color of excess mucus and reduce gas and distention.

environment may be dirty, dusty and toxic to inhale. Do not use aerosol products.
